Dance - Long Island University - Brooklyn NY

Dance from Long Island University - Brooklyn NY is a Campus Bachelor Dance degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Department of Dance offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Dance. The B.F.A. program consists of two comprehensive tracks, one in performance and one in choreography; both cover a wide range of courses. Freshmen and transfer students are required to audition and be interviewed by the Dance faculty before admission to the program. The emphasis of the B.F.A. program is on professional standards of performance and production for both traditional and experimental venues, including dance on camera. Performance and choreography opportunities are available each semester. At the end of each academic year, all Dance majors are expected to meet competency standards in modern and ballet techniques; those students in the choreography track are expected to compose an original work of choreography in both the junior and senior years. Students who wish to be prepared to teach may request counseling for such purpose. Students enrolled in the B.F.A. program have the opportunity to work with major choreographers of contemporary dance. They are invited to special showings of many dance companies in various venues in New York and, participate in workshops with visiting companies from the United States and other parts of the world. The B.S. program is intended for students interested in pursing graduate-level study in dance or dance-related fields or careers in such areas as arts management, photography, videography, musical theater, various health professions, or independent studio operation. Students may also pursue a minor course of study in a second field of their choosing. Such students will be advised of requirements to fulfill an undergraduate minor and requirements for entry into particular graduate programs. Dance Department Philosophy Students who choose to study dance at LIU will also be prepared to succeed in the future by a strong liberal arts and science education. The Dance Department is a part of Conolly College, the campus college of liberal arts and sciences, and is responsible for providing high academic standards for its students. While the professional preparation program is geared to performance, we understand that many young artists must be able to compete in many areas of life, and therefore must have the intellectual skills to do so. The growth of each individual student is supported by small classes, intense training and a broad, general education. The technical training schedule is replete with opportunities to learn a variety of dance techniques in keeping with the current needs of the dance world. In most instances, dancers are expected to be versatile, equipped with the flexibility to perform different styles and dance forms. Therefore we provide opportunities to train in the classic modern techniques, ballet, postmodern styles, world dance traditions and examples of fusion expression.
